25.0. "command-line execution" by 21270::NET_ESPINHA () Thu Mar 06 1997 21:41

    Hi everybody,
    
    I would like to get some info about a DELPHI/PASCAL command to execute
    a command line, so as system command does in C. The goal is to run a
    dos or windows backup application from within Delphi code.
    
    Thanks a lot.
    
    Best regards,
    
          Gustavo Queiroz

	Which version of Delphi? V1 (16 bit) or V2 (32 bit)? In Delphi 1.0, I'd imagine ShellExecute might be useful. Similarly in Delphi 2.0, however CreateProcess is better on Windows 95/NT. Pete
